The US shale revolution transformed the global energy outlook, inspiring other countries to begin exploring for unconventional energy. But, despite its vast resources, China shows no sign of achieving its own shale gale.

Gas Matters examines the commercial issues surrounding Chinese shale exploration and competition with imported gas.
